The Woodstock Film Festival has announced a bold new theme for its 10-year anniversary: transhumanism.It will premiere two media focused on the world of artificial intelligence and transhumanism: “2B,” directed by Richard Kroehling (world premiere), and a feature-length pilot of Syfy Channel's upcoming series “Caprica.” A panel discussion will follow.These efforts will attempt to bring knowledge of artificial intelligence and biotechnology to the film festival level. “We are thrilled to spotlight the future explorations of men and machine in this year's festival,” said festival co-founder and Executive Director Meira Blaustein in a press release.
